Reading text

Hi All,

There is a requirement to create a header text at billing document/invoice level. We have created the header text. The user will enter the text when he creates the invoice using t-code VF01.

This text contains the text describing the Invoice category. Also this text should be mandatory.

At run time we also need to validate if the user has inserted valid text.

Is there any way of reading the text for an unsaved billing document so that we can check the validity of the text.

Thanks,

Jiten

Did you check BAPI_BILLINGDOC_GETDETAIL?

Hi Shital,

Thanks for your reply. But the BAPI, given by you, requires Billing Document number as input.

The scenario I have described over here is when the billing document is not saved.

I want to validate the header texts before saving the billing document.

Thanks,

Jiten

Hi,

I think its not possible to validate/check the user input in long texts as it will only be stored at the time of saving the document. If its mandatory, then the end users have to make sure they don't leave it blank. From a developers point of view you can show popup during saving asking the user confirm whether he entered the header text.
